Little Do You Know

Chapter 18

[Game over]

-Two weeks later-

Lisa's POV

Friday, School Gymnasium

"Good work guys! Here. Have some water," I gave Yeri and Rosé water bottles to refresh themselves after the game. They sat between me, Rosé at my right and Yeri at my left.

"Thank you bench girl," Rosé mocked.

I slap her shoulder. "Ya! Park Chaeyeong if it wasn't for my basketball notes you couldn't block Jie Qiong from Chinese 1-A."

From one bracket to the other, our female basketball team managed to reach the semifinals. Thanks to Momo's leadership skills and great game strategy. Japanese 1-B team consists of mixed experienced players, not all of them like to play basketball in reality especially my best buddy. Rosé preferred music over physical activities.

What I mean by 'mixed experience players' is they're from different sports.

Kim Yerim, Yeri for short, is a chess player. She joined the team not because Mr. Seungri recruited her but this is her last option.

Seunghee the flawless mermaid of our school. She always aces interschool swimming competitions for three consecutive years.

Park Sooyeong, famously known as Joy, she's into dance sports though interested in trot music.

And as for me, I'm just a substitute and the person who gives water bottles. I know some tactics in basketball because of Bambam's Play Station 1 game NBA Live 2002. We loved to play that in summer.

"Jjakaman. Where are the other three?" Yeri asked Rosé.

"I dunno. I thought they were following us. Prolly they're at the comfort room," Rosé munching something that she took from her lunch bag.

"Lisa!" Mr. Seungri called my attention.

"Ne?"

"Can you substitute Joy? Momo and Seunghee brought her to the clinic just now."

The maknae immediately stood up after hearing the news. "What happened to Sooyeong unnie??" Yeri asked worriedly.

"Hirai-san told me she slipped down the stairs and sprained her right ankle," sensei said.

"How about Sana? She's also a substitute," Rosé suggested to sensei.

"Lisa's already here so we don't have to look for Sana and your next game will start soon," sensei retorted.

Sensei grinned, telling me to stand up and fill in Joy's position as a power forward. Surprisingly, I was shocked when Rosé blocked me from Mr. Seungri.

"Park-san, we don't have time to argue about this. Your team needs a substitute. If we can't find someone, your team will be eliminated," he uttered.

I patted her and smiled. "Sensei's right. I can't let our team's efforts go to waste. Just watch me!"

Rosé grabbed my wrist, "you don't have to push yourself, Lisa. I can just ask somebody else."

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I promise." I gave her a thumbs up.

"Yosh! That's the spirit Manoban-san! Now you can write your name on the bulletin board with your team," Sensei cheered.

Looking up other teams' lineup. The rumors are true. French 1-A's lineup is no joke, they are the dream team. Sowon is the MVP of their team. We witnessed how she overthrew Tzuyu and her team with defense and rebound. Alongside is Hyebin, who advances their team showering the opponent with 3s. Son Chaeyeong is perfect for dribbling and passing. Yerin, her agility is impressive like Kuroko. And Yeonwoo is the second MVP, the 'Most Versatile Player'.
